Cloud Chamber Bowls - PARTCH Ensemble

Описание: PARTCH Ensemble Artistic Director John Schneider discusses the Cloud Chamber Bowls with T.J. Troy, resident Bass Marimbist, detailing the history, construction, and musical capability of the Bowls, one of the instruments invented by American Maverick composer Harry Partch.

Grammy® Award-Winning PARTCH Ensemble has been rebuilding Partch's instruments and performing his wondrous music since 2004. Their recordings on Bridge Records present Partch's music in absolute clarity and precision in performance and recording quality. The group also commissions new works for the instruments from contemporary composers, collaborates with choreographers to create new movement for the music, and seeks to share with audiences worldwide.
